I won't cut an uncut Pre '64 stock, but I do like a pad. Even if the rifle is not a hard kicker, with a pad it stands in a corner better, you don't worry about busting the toe (as on your recent stock), and I think they overall handle better. So I like to find stocks that someone has already cut. Takes the "guilt" out for me, and lowers the price a good bit!
You did a nice job on that pad install. You need to get that rifle shooting good, then sell it to me at a "brother-in-law" price
I promise not to put Weaver rings on it . . .
